Jason Aldean is headlining Faster Horses this summer - as long as he survives touring across the frozen Midwest. He called up WYCD’s Chuck, Rachael and Grunwald from Iowa to talk family, Faster Horses and producing up-and-comer Tyler Farr.
“We’re going to North Dakota and all these places,” Aldean says, “and I’m like… I’ve got a sweatshirt… I’ve got a hoody.”
But the cold can’t keep a good man down. Aldean goes on to talk about how much he’s enjoyed producing Tyler Farr, an up-and-comer who swung by WYCD’s MusicTown studio back in January.
As busy as he gets on the road and coaching country’s new artists, Aldean’s family remains his highest priority. He loves experiencing his daughter Navy’s many firsts – including a first birthday and some very impressive first steps on dad’s tour bus.
“It’s only fitting that she would take her first steps on a tour bus,” Aldean says.
That tour bus will be coming to Brooklyn, Michigan for Faster Horses, July 17th – 19th, and Aldean couldn’t be more excited. “When the summer rolls around, and everybody’s ready to get outside and hit some of these festivals… it’s fun for us to get out there in that atmosphere.”
Finally, Chuck tries to get some behind-the-scenes info on what Aldean’s next single will be off his November release 9. Aldean expertly evades Chuck's question - and his infamous parting words: "I love you, Man."
Live Nation's President of Country Touring, Brian O' Connell, called into the studio Wednesday (1/24) morning to give Chuck, Rachael and Grunwald the whos and whats of this year's Faster Horses Festival.
"Obviously, we listen to the fans, and we pay attention to what they want," O'Connell says from his home base in Nashville, "And I think that, top-to-bottom, we have the best lineup we've ever had."
Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett and Jason Aldean are headlining, supported by a long list of country's finest - including Kelsea Ballerini, Jon Pardi, and Terry Lawrence.
In addition to a spectacular lineup, O'Connell also clued Chuck, Rachael and Grunwald into the latest upgrades to the Faster Horses experience.
"We have three brand new camping areas," O'Connell tells them, all of which are powered and incredibly close to the festival entrances. The VIP experience has been "re-imagined" with new luxury features including "thick seats, two levels, cabanas on top" and more!
"Chuck told me last year we had VIP..." Grunwald groans. Long story short, maybe he shouldn't have trusted Chuck.
Faster Horses takes place at Michigan International Speedway. It was named the 2019 ACM Festival of the Year.
"When American needs a song, Heywood Banks is there."
